What US businesses actually want from an agency
The US market is crowded with agencies that lead with a discovery retainer and bill by the hour, so the real cost is unknowable until the invoices arrive. We scope the entire project up front, quote a fixed dollar figure, and hold to it. If we mis-scoped, that is our cost to absorb, not a change order for you.
Speed matters just as much. A standard business site ships in two to three weeks from design approval; e-commerce and custom builds run four to eight weeks. You are not waiting a quarter to launch.
Time zones and communication
We keep working hours that overlap the US business day, with real-time availability through the morning Eastern and midday Pacific. Project communication runs on a shared board and a weekly written update, so nothing depends on catching a call at an awkward hour. Most US clients tell us the async rhythm is faster than the agency they used before.
Contracts, payment and tax
Engagements run on a plain-English services agreement with fixed milestones. We invoice in US dollars and accept ACH, wire and card through Stripe. If your store needs US sales-tax display at checkout, we wire it up with the tax engine your platform supports. All design files, code and hosting accounts belong to you from day one.
Industries we have shipped for in the US
Our US portfolio spans an AI SaaS launch page built to convert free trials, a national political agency rebrand, the marketing site for the world's first EEG earbuds, a performance-hydration DTC store, and a financial-education platform with a freemium funnel. Different sectors, the same standard: a site that earns its keep.
Fixed pricing, in plain dollars
Our pricing is public and quoted in US dollars: a five-page business site from $999, a ten-page growth build from $1,499, and custom software or AI automation from $2,000. You get a written proposal with a real number inside 48 hours, not a range, not a "starting from", and not a discovery retainer you pay before you know the cost.
That transparency is deliberate. In a US market where agency quotes routinely climb between the pitch and the final invoice, knowing the price before you commit is the difference between a project you can budget and one you cannot. If the scope changes mid-build, we quote the change before we do it.
USA questions, answered.
Do you work across US time zones?
Yes. Our hours overlap the US business day and we run projects asynchronously on a shared board, so progress never waits for a specific call time. We schedule live calls to suit Eastern through Pacific.
How do contracts and payments work for US clients?
A fixed-price services agreement with milestone billing, invoiced in USD. We accept ACH, wire and card via Stripe. No hourly meter and no surprise change orders.
Can you handle sales tax at checkout?
Yes. We configure automated US sales-tax calculation using the tax engine your platform supports (for example Shopify Tax or a TaxJar/Avalara integration on WooCommerce), so checkout shows the correct rate by state.
Can a remote agency really match a US agency's availability?
That is the norm now. You get a senior team, a fixed price and a faster timeline than most local shops, without paying for an office in Manhattan or San Francisco.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
You do — all code, design files and hosting accounts, from day one. There is no proprietary platform and no monthly licence to keep the site running.
What does a project cost?
A five-page business site starts at $999 and a growth build at $1,499; custom software and automation start at $2,000. Every project is scoped and quoted in writing before any work begins.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. You get a handover with training so your team can update content, plus optional monthly maintenance covering updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small changes.
Can you redesign an existing US site?
Yes. Redesigns are a large part of our US work — we rebuild underperforming sites for better structure, speed, SEO and conversion while keeping what already works.
